The purpose of working hard to become wealthy is to earn some measure of freedom to do things they'd enjoy doing. Owning real estate may not necessarily make sense. It can be a rather time consuming affair, which drains the wealthy of their most precious asset. It is the same with start ups. You can't throw money at things and hope they work out. That'd be called government. It takes real effort, and there's a physical limit to the number of "office hours" a wealthy entrepreneur is willing to run before it starts to sound like work.
